From the full English tour accompanying ‘A Day At The Races’ in 1977, Bristol recorded the Hippodrome performance completely with high-quality audience recording. Following the European tour from 8th to 19th May, the 1977 UK tour premiere performance performed with the band taking a drive. Master-quality version of Bristol performance obtained from the European representative Queen Collector. It is not incredibly high sound quality, but it is fine and elegant sound that fits well in every sense while small. Easy to ears, no equalization feeling, natural and full-bodied sounds are wonderful, although there are fine sound shakes and tape deterioration as well as pre-embossed, regarding the same master, sounds preeminent fresh that makes you think that there is nothing more than this So, you can enjoy live music filled with momentum of this time. There is no surprising hiss noise. You can see Freddie’s good performance on this day, White Queen, Somebody To Love is exquisite. The singing voice of the audience who is trying to enjoy the show around the recorder can also be listened happily in various places. The singing voice of Killer Queen is also attractive, and at the second song song “Perfume came naturally from Bristol!” Is inserted well and the audience is pleased. Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy also fancy and beautiful Freddie’s singing voice sounds exactly romantically. The flow to the The Millionaire Waltz ~ You’re My Best Friend which is a listening place of the 77 year tour which can enjoy delicate and dramatic ensemble is also excellent. Even in this part, the audience’s chorus at a smaller venue sounds fun. There is no deterioration in the piano sound and even if the whole band enters there, the sound is not cloudy so it can be listened to with confidence. Freddie’s lively voices of Death On Two Legs are exquisite. You Take My Breath Away, which can enjoy a vibrant singing voice, sounds very touchingly. The part which made use of the vocal delay at The Prophet’s Song which is played in medley from White Man is a masterpiece, and the place where the listening audience cheers at once all at once after the performance is emotional. Following Bohemian Rhapsody, perform Keep Yourself Alive, Stone Cold Crazy, In The Lap Of The Gods … Revisited, Now I’m Here, Liar and the classic songs in a row and dramatically tighten a large set . The cover of I ‘m A Man played at encore is unusual, and it is only this take to listen to it with this high quality. God Save The Queen seems to be live in the UK, the part where the chorus echoes in the whole place is impressive. It has been recorded tightly until the end of the last, finished in a very high quality one that you can fully enjoy from mania to beginners. In the future, the master quality version of Bristol 77 without mistaking the standard! ! This is recommended.

Bristol performances are on sale from the 1977 World Tour in line with ‘A Day At The Races’ in North America, Europe and the UK in the order of British Tour’s first day tour. Among the UK tours, it is famous for the professional shot live footage of Earls Court on June 6, but the performance full of momentum and power is developed as well as it, and it goes around North America and Europe to its own country The sense of security that went back probably had a positive influence. Unusually “I ‘m A Man” is played in the second encore, but it seems that this song may have been played as a classic encore in the first half of the UK tour. This audience recording has already been booted by “A Day At The Bristol” (Breakdown), but as compared to this, the sound quality of this time is smoother and there is no sense of equalization, so the tape closer to the master is based You can see that it is.

1977年「A Day At The Races」に伴う全英ツアーより5月23日、ブリストルはヒッポドローム公演を高音質オーディエンス録音で完全収録。5月8日から19日までのヨーロッパ・ツアーを経て、バンドもドライブがかかった状態で行われた1977年UKツアー初日公演。ヨーロッパを代表するクィーン・コレクターより入手したブリストル公演のマスター・クオリティ版。信じられないほどに高音質、というわけではないのですが、小ぶりながら、あらゆる意味で収まりの良い上質・上品なサウンドです。耳に優しい、イコライズ感の無い、自然でふくよかなサウンドは素晴らしく、既発同様に微細な音の揺れやテープ劣化はあるものの、同マスターに関して、おそらくこれ以上は無いだろうと思わせる鮮度抜群のサウンドで、この時期の勢いに満ちたライブを堪能することができます。ヒスノイズも驚くほどありません。この日のフレディの好調ぶりが伺える、White Queen、Somebody To Loveは絶品。レコーダーの周りのショウを楽しもうとしている観客の歌声も各所で楽しく聴くことができます。Killer Queenの歌声も魅力的で、歌の2番では「Perfume came naturally from Bristol!」と上手くインサートし観客を喜ばせます。Good Old Fashioned Lover Boyも艶やかで美しいフレディらしい歌声がまさにロマンチックに響きます。繊細かつドラマチックなアンサンブルが楽しめる77年ツアーの聴き所であるThe Millionaire Waltz ~You’re My Best Friendへの流れも絶品。この部分でも、小さめの会場での観客の合唱が楽しく響きます。ピアノサウンドに劣化がないのと、そこにバンド全体が入っても、それ程音が濁らないので、安心して音に聴き入ることができます。Death On Two Legsのフレディの活き活きとしたライブリーな歌声も絶品です。伸びやかな歌声が堪能できるYou Take My Breath Awayも非常に感動的に響きます。White Manからメドレーで演奏される The Prophet’s Songでのボーカルディレイを駆使したパートは圧巻で、楽曲終演後、聴き入っていた観客が一斉に歓声を上げるところは感動的です。 Bohemian Rhapsodyに続いては、Keep Yourself Alive、Stone Cold Crazy, In The Lap Of The Gods…Revisited, Now I’m Here, Liarと定番ソングを立て続けに演奏し、一大セットをドラマチックに締めます。アンコールで演奏されるI’m A Manのカバーは珍しく、それをこれだけの高音質で聴けるのは本テイクだけです。God Save The Queenではイギリスのライブらしく、場内いっぱいに合唱が響くパートは感動的です。最後の最後までしっかりと録音されており、マニアからビギナーまで存分に楽しめる非常に高品質な1枚に仕上がっています。今後、定番化間違いなしの、ブリストル77のマスター・クオリティ版!!これはお薦めです。

★beatleg誌 vol.118(2010年5月号)のレビュー要約です。ご参考まで。

北米、欧州、英国の順番で周った「A Day At The Races」に合わせた1977年のワールドツアーより、英国ツアー初日のあたるブリストル公演を収録している。この英国ツアーの中では何と言っても6月6日のアールズ・コートにおけるプロショットライヴ映像が有名だが、それと同じく勢いと迫力に溢れた演奏が展開されており、北米と欧州を回って自国に戻った安心感が恐らく良い影響を及ぼしたのだろう。セカンド・アンコールにおいて珍しく「I’m A Man」が演奏されているが、この曲は英国ツアーの前半では定番アンコールとして演奏されていた可能性もありそうだ。このオーディエンス録音は既に「A Day At The Bristol」(Breakdown)にてブート化されているが、比べてみると、今回の音質の方が滑らかでイコライズ感がないので、よりマスターに近いテープが基になっていることが窺えるだろう。
